about

Since every band needs a song called or about the holidays.

This track was recorded in 2008 or 2009, and if you really crank it you can hear the Christmas party in the background. I recorded the ukelele and vocals, mostly improvising the lyrics and melody, and Nate added the rhythm and textures later.

A little holiday offering in anticipation of the upcoming 2014 LP.
